Answer to Question 1

B
Feedback:
Most teens have been involved in at least one romantic relationship by middle adolescence. Most early adolescents spend more time in activities with mixed-sex groups, such as dances and parties, than they do dating as a couple. Teens who date frequently report slightly higher levels of self-esteem and increased autonomy. Homosexual behavior as a teen does not necessarily indicate that the adolescent will maintain a homosexual orientation.

Answer to Question 2

C
Feedback:
For contact precautions, a disposable gown and gloves are required to prevent the transmission of infection. Family members should not be sitting on the patient's bed. A face mask and face shield are not required for contact precautions.
